IGC Growth Week 2010 public lecture
Is China's strategy - of negotiating deals in which resources are exchanged for infrastructure - mutually beneficial, or a new variant of the plunder of Africa? China 'asks no questions' of African governments: is that respectful of African sovereignty or an abrogation of responsibility?
With natural resources playing a central role in African development, Professor Paul Collier, author of The Plundered Planet, explores these key questions with Dr Christopher Alden, Reader at the Department of International Relations, LSE, as a discussant.
Professor Paul Collier is Director of the Centre for the Study of African Economies (CSAE), Oxford University, and academic co-director of the International Growth Centre (IGC).
Dr Christopher Alden is Reader at the Department of International Relations, LSE.
This event will include at the start a welcome address from Gobind Nankani, Executive Director, International Growth Centre and Alan Winters, Chief Economist, UK Department for International Development.
This is the first public event of Growth Week 2010, a three-day conference organised by the International Growth Centre (IGC). The next public event is on 20 September at 6.30pm and is entitled Mobile phones and Development.
